INDEX:<br /><br />0:17- EXPERIENCE ON MADISON CITY COUNCIL<br /><br />1:33- CONVENTION CENTER- EARLY PLANNING STAGE<br /><br />4:18- HOST OF MADISON CITY CHANNELS DISTRICT REPORTS<br /><br />5:57- AMERICANS WITH DISABILITY ACT AND MMB<br /><br />9:32- RECOLLECTIONS OF OLD BUILDING <br /><br />11:42- HOPES FOR FUTURE OF BUILDING<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: My name is Sarah White, and I’m here with Eve Galanter, G-a-l-a-n-t-e-r, on December 8, 2018, at the grand opening of the restored Municipal Building. And we’re going to talk about her memories of the building. What would you like to tell us, Eve?<br /><br />Narrator: I was first elected to the Madison City Council in a special election in 1981. In June 1981. It made going door to door a lot easier than those subsequent years where you had to go door to door in the winter, uh, especially if you were going to have a primary. But I do remember my first meetings here in the Municipal Building, um, as a member at one point of the Landmarks Commission, the Equal Opportunities Commission. Our meetings were in not very comfortable rooms—no view of the out-of-doors, windows half-obscured. And yet all of the attention—perhaps it was deliberate, because all of the attention of the participants was on what was going on rather than what we see today, which is the view out the window and, uh, a bit of a distraction, perhaps. <br /><br />One particular moment I recall especially was the—as a member of the committee looking at the possibility of a convention center. Group sitting around, trying to decide, would we locate the convention center on this side of the square or on the other side of the square? Would it be behind the Concourse Hotel or would it be on the lake? Long discussions, some people thinking we really don’t need to do this at all. And then came an aha moment, which was the discovery of the plans of Frank Lloyd Wright for the, uh, I guess it was going to be a civic center. And the committee sitting up in room 260 around a table. And I recall specifically saying, “We’re not in Kansas anymore.” It was so exciting to think about. And as I say, perhaps if we had been in this beautiful new restored building, we might have looked outside, we might have seen some of what was going on, but instead we were very focused on our mission. We moved forward, but not very far. There were referenda that passed where yes means maybe.<br /><br />Interviewer: Can you think of the year that this meeting would have happened? About ’94, ’95?<br /><br />Narrator: I was on the Council from ’81 to ’89. <br /><br />Interviewer: Okay, so that early.<br /><br />Narrator: And I left in 1989 without seeking reelection because I had been asked by US Senator Herb Kohl to become the director of his office, uh, here in Madison. So, um, I did fill out the end of my term, uh, but there was an election in April of 1989.<br /><br />Interviewer: So the convention center that opened in 1998 was already in committee meetings and discussions as early as ’88?<br /><br />Narrator: As a concept. As a concept. Would we think about going over there, or should we focus on the space on the other side of the square? You know, there was truly a north versus south debate that was going on. <br /><br />Other recollections that I have are more recent. Um, as a host of the Madison city channels district reports. Our makeshift studio, also in a part of room 260 here in the Municipal Building, was set up with lights hanging precariously from the ceiling, uh, with backdrops obscuring the walls. Uh, a table and a couple of chairs.<br /><br />Interviewer: As I recall, it was sort of a boarded-off corner of the big meeting room, wasn’t it?<br /><br />Narrator: Correct, yes. And then when there were no recordings going on, then all of that was hidden away in a closet somewhere. Uh, having to wend your way through and behind the curtain, the backdrops that had been set up just for the recording. That happened twice a month, uh, interviewing members of Council and city staff on, you know, pertinent and emerging issues that would be debated by committees or the Council. And it would be viewed or shown—we have no idea how many people actually viewed it, but it was shown in the one-half hour just before the Council meeting on Tuesday evenings. <br /><br />One winter—that was six years ago—uh, when I slipped on the last piece of black ice in Madison in March, in a month that turned out to be the warmest March ever, I—it resulted in my having some lengthy rehab, including a stay in a nursing home, and then needing to be in a wheelchair. But I did not want to—I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to participate in the telecast. And the staff found somewhere a ramp that they put up so that I could come through and up onto the stage—stage—the risers that had been set up—in order to have the show. It was always, though, such a—and, you know as a moment that I recall, I felt, you know, I felt very good about having overcome this just for this time, you know, sitting there in a wheelchair.<br /><br />Interviewer: To manage to do this volunteer thing that was that important to you.<br /><br />Narrator: Right. But also, it gave me for the very first time a sense of what a person with a disability would face in a building like this. There were certainly obstacles, uh, and it made it—the maneuvering that went on by the person who was assisting me, my older daughter, um, brought home to me, you know, how critical that was, having been, as I say, on staff to US Senator Herb Kohl in 1991 when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed into law and signed by then-President George Herbert Walker Bush. But because very few opportunities for reconstruction and revamping had occurred here, there were only minimal changes made to ensure at least access to the building. But once you were in the building the maneuvering of a wheelchair, uh, and ability to participate fully as a citizen, I could imagine wanting to come to a public meeting, made all the more difficult. Which makes this opportunity today to tour this fully accessible and light-filled building decorated with the art of many, you know, public, local artists, um, is really very, very special. <br /><br />Interviewer: Have you been on the tour?<br /><br />Narrator: I am going to—I have taken part of the tour and then will complete it after our conversation is concluded.<br /><br />Interviewer: Great, great. It is exciting to see what can be done with a clean sweep through an old building. I really relate to what you’re saying about what you learned firsthand experience about the importance of the ADA.<br /><br />Narrator: Right. Absolutely. And I think not just the revamping, but bringing in the art. There had always been some artwork—down in the foyer, or on the first floor when you entered when you came to get your parking permit. Uh, but there are things I will miss, uh, in the old building. I loved all those mailboxes. <br /><br />Interviewer: Oh, yeah. <br /><br />Narrator: From the post office. Seeing all those old post office boxes that everyone, you know, had there. Even as a representative of a nonprofit organization that had a little box there. But that was always something very interesting to see and to imagine—all that mail in each of those little cubbies. And the person who was carefully putting them in. I miss—I will miss seeing that memory of the post office there. It will also, I think, be interesting—it would be interesting to hear the reflections of people who may have participated or—[been] in this building in some way when it was a courthouse. And to see, you know, what were these rooms like then? Were those long pews, you know, that we used in the old building, were they being used when it was a courtroom?<br /><br />Interviewer: Maybe somebody will come and tell us about that, yeah. You talk about the mailboxes; it made me think of how nostalgic we are for the old library card catalog. It’s the same thing, it’s sort of the sorting and filing everyday things of another time.<br /><br />Narrator: Right, right. And I am sorry—<br /><br />Interviewer: You see glass and steel, where we saw bronze.<br /><br />Narrator: That’s right! Exactly. Bronze and brass. Uh, and I’m sorry that they will not be returning to this building. Perhaps some people will find it easier where they are currently located, but I do miss [it].<br /><br />Interviewer: What are your hopes for the people who use this building in the future? You’re someone who’s been deeply involved in the city’s life and evolution. Do you have a wish to send forward?<br /><br />Narrator: Perhaps the light that’s now coming into this building will also serve to enlighten those who make our public policy and those who participate in it as an advocate or as someone with a concern or a problem that they wish to have resolved. The more light, the better.<br /><br />Interviewer: Beautiful. Beautiful note to end on.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:18- FIRST MEETING IN MADISON MUNICIPAL BUILDING<br /><br />2:14- MEETINGS IN MMB AS LIBRARY DIRECTOR<br /><br />3:05- LIBRARY AND HOMELESS POPULATION<br /><br />4:38- IMPRESSIONS OF RENOVATION<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: The recording is on. My name is Sarah White. I’m a volunteer with the Living History Project, and I’m talking with Greg Mickells, who is the Madison Public Library System Director on December 8, 2018. What would you like to tell us about the Municipal Building?<br /><br />Narrator: The Municipal Building, in room 260, which is the old courthouse, was where I first met the mayor. Mayor Soglin. And it was also when the Council was meeting to approve my directorship of the libraries. And it was in that building, it was in August of 2012. It was about 90 degrees. The mayor was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sandals, and I had a suit and tie. And it was hot! (laughs) And I still remember that day. I didn’t know a soul in the room except for Alder Palm who had been part of the hiring committee for my position and so I, I sat next to him through the process and he walked me through it. But that was my introduction to the city. It was my introduction to this building. And it’s definitely imprinted there that, here I was meeting the mayor for the first time in a Hawaiian shirt and sandals.<br /><br />I: Yeah! Where were you coming from? Where had you been working?<br /><br />N: I had been working in Lincoln, Nebraska prior to Madison and I worked in the Denver area for over ten years. All in libraries. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska. So, kept in the Midwest.<br /><br />I: And, you were hired. When did you begin?<br /><br />N: I began in September of 2012 and I began when Central Library was under demolition. And it was just the start of the renovation of the Central Library, so I was involved with that project. And then, when we reopened in September of 2013. <br /><br />I: Yes. Um, so now what sort of things would bring you to the Municipal Building, through your work downtown? And as a resident?<br /><br />N: (speaking at the same time) Well, as the director—uh well, as a director of a department, several meetings between Common Council when they still met in 260. A lot of times to just department, division head meetings. Meetings with other departments. Planning Department, Urban Renewal— our Urban Design committees about the library. So a lot of official functions. <br /><br />I: Uh-huh. And as a resident? Did you live downtown as well?<br /><br />N: I didn’t. I live on the far west.<br /><br />I: So you probably didn’t come here for your post office and—<br /><br />N: No. <br /><br />I: Yeah. Okay. Um—you tell me if this isn’t a topic you want to go into but what comes to my mind when I think about this building and the Public Library is the homeless issues downtown. Because we have—<br /><br />N: Um-hm.<br /><br />I: This has been an encampment, and the library’s been an encampment. Did your work with the city bring you here in conversation about how Madison deals with its homeless?<br /><br />N: Well, we do a lot. The way I look at individuals who are experiencing homelessness is that they’re part of our community as well as anyone else.<br /><br />I: Uh-huh.<br /><br />N: And where I see the Library’s position with that in regard is we’re a tremendous resource for that population and that’s a very vulnerable population. The libraries today have to be flexible, have to be welcoming to everyone in their community and it’s a resource. It’s a resource for everyone. Sometimes that resource can simply be a warm place to go out of the weather and become a shelter. It can be a connection so that an individual that’s experiencing homelessness has internet access to contact family members, to stay connected. And it’s also a place where they’re welcomed and they feel that they’re part of the community, which I think is important.<br /><br />I: Right. Right. It’s so easy to lose that—<br /><br />N: Yes.<br /><br />I: —under stress. (pause) Have you toured the building yet today?<br /><br />N: Oh yeah! I was—<br /><br />I: Give us your review! <br /><br />N: I love it! I love it. Same architect that did the renovation here, did the renovation on Central Library, so I’m familiar with their work. And I, I greatly appreciate their design sense. And as we toured the building before it was even open, I was able to go through it. It was just an amazing transformation. I think the biggest thing here that we have to notice right off, and the mayor talked about it in his opening address, is light coming into the space—<br /><br />I: Um, um.<br /><br />N: —and just having natural light come into the building again just transforms it.<br /><br />I: Yeah. Yeah. (pause) I, I find myself thinking about the, uh, hybrid of the classical building, the Federal style that this originated—<br /><br />N: Um—<br /><br />I: —with, and now this glass and steel. Do you think the marriage of those two is working?<br /><br />N: I think they did. I attended the brief presentation by the architect.<br /><br />I: Uh-huh.<br /><br />N: And they talked about the history, they talked about going back to that green color—<br /><br />I: (speaking at the same time) Yeah! <br /><br />N: —for the windows. Uh, that that was the original. So I think there’s— it really embraces the historical. It—but embraces the functionality of what we need now as far as it being a sustainable building, being energy efficient, and just looking at it from that perspective, it’s a terrific marriage—<br /><br />N: —of the old and the new. <br /><br />I: I imagine there won’t be another meeting where that room is 90 degrees in August—<br /><br />N: (laughs)<br /><br />I: —and the mayor is in his Hawaiian shirt and sandals!<br /><br />N: We can only hope. <br /><br />I: (laughs) Well, thank you very much! Anything else you’d like to tell us today?<br /><br />N: Sarah, it was a pleasure! And thanks for doing this.

INDEX:<br /><br />0:12- BATHROOMS IN OLD MMB- CARRERA MARBLE<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: Well, my name is Sarah White and I’m collecting interviews for the Living History Project of people at the Madison Municipal Building grand opening. And with me is Lillian Sizemore, who wants to talk about bathrooms.<br /><br />Narrator: I do! Well, I came to the art show—was it 2016 already? Yeah, I came to the big art show that was here in 2016 and wandered around the whole building and I had never been in the Municipal Building before and I love old buildings, and I love old—you know. What was it? From the ‘30s I guess it was built. <br /><br />I: The building opened in 1929.<br /><br />N: Yeah. ‘29. Yeah. So. So, I’m a mosaic artist and I have an affinity for the masons and for terrazzo workers and for stone and tile. That’s my expertise. And so these bathrooms, which were kind of— some of them were a little bit tucked around to the sides and kind of, you had to kind of go find them. And there were men and women bathrooms but I didn’t see the men’s bathroom. Well, actually I did walk into a men’s bathroom. <br /><br />But the women’s bathroom that I remember, all the stalls were divided by huge slabs of carrara marble. Right? Beautiful, white with the gray veining, which is typical of carrara marble, which would have been mined in Carrara, Italy. You know, it’s not something that you can find in the United States. So here’s a municipal building in Wisconsin that’s importing beautiful slabs of marble for the women’s bathrooms to divide the stalls. And then the floors were all these like beautiful hexagon porcelain tiles, um, that were laid and, you know, that stuff lasts forev[er]. <br /><br />And so I was like, oh my god, I hope they don’t tear out those bathrooms. And I wonder what they did. Because I haven’t seen it yet. So. That’s what I remember. And I was wishing, oh my god, I hope I can get some of that carrara marble! And, of course, I didn’t come and scavenge, you know. That would’ve been fun. To scavenge what they threw away here! (laughs) Or, uh, hopefully that got, the stuff got recycled or I don’t know. <br /><br />I: Well come back and talk to us after you check out the bathrooms!<br /><br />N: Yeah, I will.<br /><br />I: Okay! Give us a thumbs up or thumbs down on the renovation. <br /><br />N: I’m, I’m nervous now! (laughs)<br /><br />I: I haven’t seen them either. I hope you’re right. I hope they preserved it.<br /><br />N: Thank you for letting me tell my memory. <br /><br />[END RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:15- MUSIC AND ART IN MADISON COMMUNITY<br /><br />1:27- CURRENT STUDENT AT UW MADISON<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />(Music in the background)<br /><br />Interviewer: Jacki Lawton is here with—<br /><br />Narrator: Jenny Heck.<br /><br />I: Spell your name for me, please?<br /><br />N: J-e-n-n-y H-e-c-k.<br /><br />I: Tell us about your hopes for the building?<br /><br />N: My, my hopes for the building. Um, I, I came to this event to kind of see, uh, what was happening with the arts and music related principles that are kind of being broadcasted through this. And so I thought it was really cool seeing all the art and what’s—what Madison artists have been doing, Madison musicians have been doing to, uh, incorporate their place with this event and I think, um, looking at all the art, that was really cool to me to see what Madison artists are doing, I guess. I really am intrigued in seeing where this goes in the future because I think it’s really cool how engaging this whole thing is for the community. And I think that’s a big part of any aspect of, of any aspect of life whether it’s art or music or government, it’s the engagement of the community and so seeing how this restoration has really brought the community together with all different people with different interests and agendas is really cool and I’m really hopeful to see where that goes with community engagement through the city of Madison. <br /><br />I: Are you originally from Madison? Or—<br /><br />N: I’m originally from Milwaukee, um, I’m studying here at UW Madison in the UW School of Music. Um, I’m studying Music Education, and so far I, I really enjoy living in Madison. I, I actually stayed here over the summer, um, instead of returning home, where I feel like I really got a nice hands on experience with the city and the ability to engage with different types of people in that time of a break from school was really, really rewarding and fulfilling, in the city. <br /><br />I: Thank you.<br /><br />N: Um.<br /><br />I: Are you planning on, are you hoping to stay in Madison in the distant future, or—<br /><br />N: I, I am hoping to stay in Madison. I do really like Madison. I don’t have plans for after graduation currently, and that would really depend on where I, I teach music. But I would love to stay in Madison and teach music, or in the area. I, I feel that Madison has become a big part of my life and like kind of a home to me that I can really count on as a, as a good city in Wisconsin and I would love to stay here and I definitely plan on returning in my life.<br /><br />I: Do you have anything else?<br /><br />N: I think that’s it!<br /><br />I: Thank you, Jenny! This is Jacki Lawton interviewing.<br /><br />[END RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:31- INTRODUCTION<br /><br />1:00- HOW SHE BECAME INVOLVED IN MADISON CITY COUNCIL (2003-2009)<br /><br />2:50- PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL ISSUES, SPECIFICALLY TRANSPORTATION<br /><br />4:27- MEMORIES OF THE OLD BUILDING<br /><br />7:58- THE ROLE OF THE BUILDING IN PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY<br /><br />9:31- PROUDEST MOMENTS IN HER TENURE- CITY CABLE<br /><br />11:20- RENOVATED BUILDING: FIRST IMPRESSIONS/IMPROVEMENTS<br /><br />13:40- BIKE TRANSPORTATION AND THE OLD BUILDING<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Okay, I’m Laura Damon-Moore, I’m here today on February 5th, 2019, talking with Robbie Webber about the Madison Municipal Building, as kind of a follow up to Municipal Restored. Robbie, could you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your history in Madison and also your history in, and relationship to, the Madison Municipal Building?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Okay. I originally came to Madison as an undergraduate. I actually transferred here because of a particular program, and then I left Madison and didn’t really intend to return, but then came back here for graduate school and never left, like so many other people. So this iteration of my life I have been here for, let’s see, thirty-two years, maybe thirty-three. <br /><br />And I was on the Madison City Council from 2003 to 2009. I had always been sort of opinionated and began to be involved with local issues. And people would say to me, you should run for office. And I would say, that’s not going to happen. And then a friend invited me to a training for women in politics. And one of the speakers, I remember that Gwen Moore, Kathleen Falk, and Tammy Baldwin were all at the, were all speakers. I’m not sure who said this, but it might have been Tammy, I’m going to guess that it was. She said, “Women don’t run for office because they think they have to know everything before they run. But that never stops the men.” (laughs) And she said, “You only need to know who to ask.” And at that moment I said, okay, I can do this. And through some other details that I won’t go in to, I sort of had the seat almost handed by the former alder who decided not to run. So, of course, I got on the city council, and I had no idea how much work it was going to be, and all the things I was going to have to know about and stuff like that. <br /><br />But even before I got onto the council, I had been spending quite a bit of time in Room 260 of the Municipal Building, attending meetings and speaking on issues and listening to the process and things like that. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: What were some of the local issues that really drew you in that—<br /><br />NARRATOR: Well, I’ve always been involved with transportation a lot. I was working for Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin, and so I was thinking a lot about how people move around, and I had a friend from graduate school who had kind of pulled me in to that issue, and into the idea of the overlap between land use and transportation decisions and how people move around and how we live and how to build a city and that kind of thing. And giving people choices on transportation, and many other issues that all come in to that. <br /><br />So I had been going to speak at different commissions. And you get three minutes to talk. And then you have to sit down and be quiet, and even if some of the commission members say things or ask questions that you could add significant information, you’re not allowed to jump in. Which I was reminded of multiple times. So when I got elected and I was on the committees, people would ask me, you know, what’s the best part of being on the council? And I had two sort of cheeky answers: one was, “City staff have to return my phone calls now,” and the second one was, “I get to ask the questions. And I don’t get cut off at three minutes.” <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Yes, right.<br /><br />NARRATOR: So I again spent a lot of time in Room 260 on the second floor, sometimes the third floor, we’d get moved around for various different things. And that room was such—I mean, it was such a disaster in so many ways, because it was ice-cold in the summer and it was absolutely just steaming hot in the winter. So, I ride my bike to get around, or sometimes I’ll take the bus or I’ll walk, and I’ll be dressed to be outside. And so in the summer I’d be dressed in shorts and a tee shirt, or tank top, or a skirt, or a light dress, and I’d come inside and it was like 65 degrees in there. And I was absolutely sure that I was going to get hypothermia. And then in the winter I’d be wearing a turtleneck, and long underwear and it’d be eighty. And I just was thinking, “I’m going to be dehydrated, I’m going to pass out”. I mean, the heating and cooling was just terrible.<br /><br />But, I loved the room because of the old courtroom, and the wooden benches, and the dais, and everything that it represented, and the wooden table, and the chairs, the wooden chairs, and all that sort of thing. That was my main memory of that building—of that particular room. Then sometimes I had meetings in other rooms such as LL110, which is down in the basement. When I was on committees that were staffed by the Planning Department, and number one: nobody could find it. Nobody could find that room. Nobody could find—it was a maze just to get to the offices, nobody could find the room, once you were in the room there were no windows, and it was also a room where you couldn’t see if it was occupied until you were fully in the room. (Interviewer laughs) So people were often not sure what room a meeting was in—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Sure.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And they would kind of stick their head in, and they would have to get fully into the room before they realized they were in the wrong place.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Oh no.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And then one night, in the winter, I had ridden my bike to, you know, to my work, which was only a block away, and then gone to a meeting and I knew that it was going to snow, but I didn’t realize it was going to snow that much. And I came outside, and my bike was parked in covered parking, behind where the post office was. There was an area, a loading dock area with covered bicycle parking. But eight inches of snow had fallen.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Oh no!<br /><br />NARRATOR: And I thought to myself, there’s no way I’m going to ride my bike home. So I just grabbed the first bus that I could find, and threw my bike on there and figured I’d push it through the rest of the way if they didn’t drop me off close enough to my house. But that’s because there were no windows, so I didn’t realize that—I was kind of shocked to come out and find that amount of snow on the ground. So one of the things that you ask is, what’s the role of the building, and to me, even before being an elected official, it was the place where you go to participate in the city process, in the local process. To state your opinion, to get information on what’s going on, to really be part of participatory democracy. <br /><br />And I was always really proud of the fact that people could come in, it was very easy to get to, and you could just come in, say your piece, bring a bunch of papers if you wanted to and distribute them to the people on the committee, and be able to participate in the process. I think that’s important. I think it’s better now, because it’s easier to find things. There were rooms, when they closed it, and they had the art exhibition, there were rooms that I didn’t even know existed.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: I’m sure.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And I had been going to that building probably weekly for almost ten years. And I didn’t even know there were certain rooms. Where did this room come from? I didn’t know this room was here.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: It’s a rabbit warren, that’s how I’ve heard it described.<br /><br />NARRATOR: Yes. Yeah. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: As you’re thinking about, you know, these specific rooms and your memories there, do you have any particular moments, particular moments that you’re particularly proud of the way that the process played out, or that really stick in your memory as far as the people who came to participate, and when you came to participate and then, being on both sides of the table?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Um, I’m trying to think sort of how the building played a role, but, the fact that we had City Cable there, and that several of the committees that I was on were cable-cast. I want to say broadcast but it wasn’t really broadcast, but where also you could stream them on the computer or you could watch them on cable. And when I would be knocking on doors, and campaigning, people would actually say that they watched it. And I don’t have cable, I’ve never had cable, so I never had that option, and I would say, “Why? Why are you watching that?”. (laughs) And they would say, "Because I think it’s interesting, you know, I think it’s interesting to find out what’s going on. And I can be cooking and watching". And sometimes they would say, "I loved what you said at that meeting." And I thought, you know, wow, it’s great that people are involved. I’m glad that I said something that inspired them. But I just was really proud of the fact that we had this opportunity for people to, to know what was happening. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Absolutely. That information exchange is still possible that way. What was your impression of the renovated space? What was it like being there on the opening?<br /><br />NARRATOR: It was, um, I think that there were areas I tried to remember what it looked like before. And I sort of couldn’t believe that it was the same building, in some areas. But then there were other areas that were very familiar, such as the Room 260, the old courtroom. And I miss the old wooden furniture. That’s kind of too bad. But the room looks a lot better, and I’m sure it feels a lot better. I hope it won’t be so cold in the summer and hot in the winter. And I think they did a really beautiful job. An old, historic building like that, especially one that has so many memories for people, there’s a lot of chance that you’re not going to like the renovation, but I think they did an excellent job. <br /><br />And I’m hoping that it will be easier for people to participate now, because it’s more comfortable, it’s more open, the directions are easier to follow, it’s easier to find the room that you need to get to. Especially things like Planning, which is important for a lot of people if they’re doing things for their house or their yard, and they didn’t have a good way for people to find the right staff people. I know that social services has got better opportunities for meeting rooms and talking to people. I know that they had a lot of trouble previously, with not having privacy for people who were asking for social services, or really needing help. And that’s, you know, difficult when somebody’s in distress, or they’re, they maybe are needing housing assistance, or medical assistance, or anything like that, and they don't have any privacy to discuss that with city staff.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: This might not be directly related to the building’s history, but I’m just curious about, you were involved in transportation work or interested in that topic, particularly in the way that we get around by bike in town,. Can you just tell us a little bit things you’ve seen improved, or things that have changed in that regard?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Yeah, I can say, actually, regarding the building, I was always sort of proud of the fact that the bike racks were often full. (laughs)<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Uh-huh.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And, you know, it’s—when bike racks are full, it’s kind of good news/bad news. The good news is lots and lots of people are biking, the bad news is, the bike racks are full, so it’s hard to find a place to park. But I noticed that there was one bike rack that was often not full, and it was the one close—in front of the Municipal Building, but closer to Monona Terrace. And I went over there to park my bike one day, and I realized why nobody parked there. There were trees overhanging, and the birds would drop in— the whole area would be covered in bird droppings. So nobody wanted to have bird droppings on their bike. So nobody would park there.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Yup, makes sense.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And, I was also really proud of the fact that they had, the City had a municipal bike—before BCycle, there was a fleet of bikes that City staff could check out. To go to meetings.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Really.<br /><br />NARRATOR: Yes. And they were parked on the loading dock, by the post office. Off of Doty Street. And there were signs that said, these spots reserved for municipal bike fleet and things like that. And the bikes had baskets so that you could put your briefcase, or your papers, or plans or whatever in there. And people used them all the time. People would check them out and use them all the time. And the other thing that I really appreciated was that they have—I don’t know if it’s still there, but, before the renovation, there was a, on one of the wooden supports, they had mounted this kind of metal thing where you could leave your lock. So if you came there every day, or if you worked in the area or the building and you didn’t want to carry your lock home because maybe you had a fancy bike and you were just going to ride it between the office and your home, you could actually leave your lock there and not have to carry it all the time.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Oh, funny.<br /><br />NARRATOR: I thought that was a really considerate touch, and it really indicated that the city was thinking about bicycling as a real transportation method, that their employees needed. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Yeah, made that accommodation. Anything else you want to share?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Well, I used to be able to bike around the Square, down MLK, make a left turn on Doty, a right turn into the parking lot where the post office was, and then up the ramp, onto the loading dock. (laughs) And just as I, I could like sort of cruise up and come to a stop right on the loading dock just in the covered area of the parking.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Very cool. That sounds fun.<br /><br />NARRATOR: And it was very, we were all very appreciative when it was pouring rain, or when it might rain, or when it might snow, that there was covered bicycle parking.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: That’s great. Well, thank you so much.<br /><br />NARRATOR: Yeah. <br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:22- DESCRIBES GRAND OPENING EVENT<br /><br />2:09- GHOSTS<br /><br />start of recording<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Okay, today is December 8th, 2018 and we’re at the Madison Municipal Building Re-Opening. My name is Carmen Niemeyer and our narrator is Mary Gandolfo. Can you state your name to make sure we have that correct?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Mary Gandolfo.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Okay, if you wouldn’t mind, you can just tell us any memories or stories of the building that you have.<br /><br />NARRATOR: Well, I’ll tell you—the truth is, I’ve never been in this building before. (laughs) I came to help with the Living History Project. And as long as I’ve had a little break and I’ve heard some fascinating stories, about people who grew up in Madison and remember coming here for the post office, and the courthouse, the federal courthouse was upstairs. And so after hearing those stories, I had to take a look around. <br /><br />And the funny thing is, I didn’t know that this—this event was going on, other than the fact that I was here to take stories from people. And it’s fascinating. There is art, music, dance, jugglers, contortionists—there's just, everywhere you turn, there’s something interesting and amazing going on. And there’s video art, there are some great musicians, a cello and a flute, playing in one stairwell—did you hear them? They’re wonderful. So, um, the art on the walls, it is just, it’s really an amazing event. We’re able to walk through and go into all the little back rooms and it is—I’m really excited that I’m here. I had no idea what I was missing. <br /><br />So, that’s my story. I did have to look for—I was looking for the courthouse, and the judge’s chambers. Because one of the storytellers mentioned that she works in this building, and people who worked in this building before the renovation are convinced that there is a ghost in the room where they work, or near the room. That they heard doors slamming, and footsteps in the hall, and they are very sure that it’s a presence—that it’s not a physical presence. And so I had to go find the judge’s chambers. (laughs)<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Were you convinced?<br /><br />NARRATOR: Well, they’re using it as a kitchen today, the catering is set up there. So I don’t know if that was the judge’s chamber, but I did get to see the courtroom. And it is, it's really beautiful—it’s been all refurbished and it is, it’s really lovely. And this whole building—what a huge asset this is. All the different meeting rooms and gathering spaces, I’m just—it makes me proud to live in Madison. That’s my story. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Thank you for sharing. Do you have anything else you’d like to say? <br /><br />NARRATOR: No, not at this time.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Okay, sounds great, thanks so much.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:22- COMING TO FATHER'S COURTROOM (FEDERAL JUDGE DOYLE)<br /><br />9:24- GHOST STORY<br /><br />13:27- GRANDFATHER'S CHAIR<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />[BACKGROUND NOISE] <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: This is Mary Gandolfo, and today is December 8th, 2018. I am speaking to Catherine Doyle and Ruth Rolich. And Catherine is going to start by sharing some of her memories of the Municipal Building.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Well thank you for doing this. I first came to this building, many times as a child, growing up in Madison. It was the post office and I remember that very well, but I never ventured up into the upper floors until 1965, when my father was appointed to be the federal judge and he took over the offices and the courtroom upstairs. Um, it was a great event for our family. A very big summer, 1965. I graduated from high school, my sister graduated from college, and got married, and my father became the federal judge here. And we had a huge party and the investiture was a very gay event. Relatives came from all over the country in celebration and it was—they had food and beverages, it was in the summer. <br /><br />And that beautiful courtroom was just so—well, it was just exactly what you would expect an old federal courtroom to look like, with the high ceilings and the benches and so on. After that, I had some stories—my father was involved in making many decisions that, of all different kinds, and some of them were quite—during the sixties and seventies, some of the decisions that he was called upon to make were quite controversial or significant, dealing with peoples’ rights—students’ rights, you know, the boys, to have longer hair, and First Amendment Rights, and then due process rights for students at the University of Wisconsin who may have been involved in demonstrations and so on, as to disciplinary rights and discipline. Made him quite controversial. Times are turbulent in many eras, but that really was one. <br /><br />But those decisions were made upstairs. So it was a place of great significance legally, to our community, at that time. There were a couple of funny stories. One of them was that my parents used to go to Door County in the summer, and they went to, he went to a barber up there and then the barber said, “Where are you from,” and he said “I’m from Madison,” and [the barber] said to my father, “Well there’s this crazy federal judge down there doing all these crazy decisions, do you know him?” (laughter) To which I believe my father told me he said no! (laughter) <br /><br />But the one funny story was, I was in college, in Beloit, so I was a freshman, and I thought it would be fun to have a couple of friends come to Madison. So we got on the bus and I called my dad, and he said he had a trial going on, so I thought, well, we’ll get up here, go see this trial. So we went in. And if you can imagine, eighteen, nineteen year olds sitting in that big courtroom, there weren’t many people in the audience, and the trial was going on and lo and behold we learned just a few minutes in that the trial involved injuries to a person from an exploding toilet. <br /><br />(laughter)<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: I suppose it’s not funny.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): No, it wasn’t funny, except to eighteen or nineteen year olds, who started, you know—pretty soon someone snorted and that set us off, and my dad gave us that look, and I thought, you know, we’d better get out of here because we’re about ready to—so it wasn’t all about the big constitutional issues of our time, but much of it was. <br /><br />My father loved working in this building. He loved his offices, which were bright and cheery—it became part, he was a very happy man in his job. He always said there were two things he loved to do: take our mother, his wife, places that she wanted to go, and work. He loved coming to the office. He always took the bus, he never drove a car. He loved the Capitol Square. He loved the proximity of this building to the Capitol. He loved the courtroom and so on. So those memories are very fond. <br /><br />I can picture him in that office, surrounded by his clerks and so on. It was a small space, it was a very busy space. At one point he had the highest caseload of any judge in the United States. And so it was just a very busy office. <br /><br />The courtroom was fantastic. There were incidents, not too many, but I recall that they were having a criminal trial and one of the defendants at the time, the defendant who had allegedly committed a crime that involved a gun, I guess, and the gun was sitting out on the evidence table. And he jumped up and grabbed the gun. And I said to my dad, “What’d you do?” And he said, “I dropped onto the floor, and I crawled on my hands and knees out that door that's right behind the bench.” So I picture him just reaching his hand down there, just crawling out the door. But nobody got hurt or anything. <br /><br />But I know that at the time they moved out of here, the building had—they were cramped, and it was much too small. They had—by then there were three federal judges, Barbara Crabbe had become a judge, and Judge—Shabazz. So they were cramped in the quarters there, and the building had gone into disrepair, I don’t know if the federal government had just dried up money at that time but you know, there were a lot of problems with broken windows and delayed upkeep and everything. But all I remember mainly was how happy he was in his work here and in this building and just the environment. I have a picture of him I’d like to find, of him just sitting in his office chair, and sort of leaning back, and the sun’s coming in those windows, which—they opened, they must have had air conditioning but even then—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: I think so—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Yeah, so then they opened the windows, and that brought in bugs—but just a happy smile on his face. He conducted weddings there, much stuff occurred—he was there for, I’m trying to remember when they might have moved out, it must have been around 1985, when—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: When the new courthouse—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Yeah. The new courthouse is beautiful, but it’s not quite the same. It’s a beautiful building. So it was twenty years that he spent here, doing his judge stuff.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Did you go up to the court—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): I did. It’s so beautiful. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: I haven’t been up there yet. Is it still—retained?<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): It’s retained, and it’s better, because during the time the City was here, they had covered up the windows, I think, and also put a lot of acoustical, electrical stuff in there. Now it’s all back, restored, the windows are back, these beautiful windows. So it’s really the way I remember it being. The benches aren’t in there, and the bar is gone, but the bench is there, my dad’s bench, and it’s really nice. It’s such a beautiful renovation, it really made me very sentimental. I’m very happy to see that this is what’s happened with this beautiful building.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Okay, so—<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Should I tell—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Should I tell—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Oh yeah, you can tell the ghost story—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): So my daughter, Ruth Rolich, who is here, works in this building. She’ll tell you about that in a minute. And she was working there before the renovation and now is back in the building. And I came to visit her not long after she moved in, and we got looking around the building and we went into the courtroom, and then we asked—there were some people that worked in the chambers, what had been the judge’s chambers, so we asked if we could work in the—just walk through there. <br /><br />So we walk through there, it looked a lot the same, it was nice. And when we were leaving, just standing there, these several women who worked there in that office, I don’t know what office it was—<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Community Services.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Community Services. They came running up to us, and they said, “Are you related to someone who had been a federal judge here?” And we said yes, you know, and they said, “Because there’s a ghost in here.”<br /><br />(laughter)<br /><br />And there were several of them that had had this experience, that they really considered to be an encounter with a ghost. And they told these stories about working late, and then doors started slamming, and they’d hear somebody walking with footsteps, um, and they’d look and there’s nobody anywhere around. But it scared them, and they would go (laughs) running out of the building. And they asked us, “Do you think that could be your father’s ghost?” And I’m like, “Well, I don’t know—” It’s just such an odd thing to think that one of your parents is hau—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Haunting city workers.<br /><br />(laughter)<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): It was one of his happy places.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): It surely was. But I asked them, I said to them, “Did he—does he make you feel afraid?” And they said “Yes, he really makes us feel afraid.” And I said, “Well, my father would never ever intentionally make someone feel afraid that way.” Never been in his personality. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: No.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): But I don’t know, Ruth and I after that thought, perhaps we should stay overnight here or something (laughter), you’d hate to miss that chance. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Yeah!<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Right. If there are ghosts, and it’s—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): —if it is my father’s ghost, that we wouldn’t interact with him. But we haven’t done that yet. However I’m wondering now, with the renovation, if the ghost is still there. They believe—(speaking at the same time)—they believe that there’s a ghost there.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Still?<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): I don’t know, this was a couple of year ago—<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): I don’t know, that’s a good question, I should find out. <br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): It’s a different department now, I think.<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Yeah.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Human Resources, or something.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Well, and buildings are locked all the time now, so, not likely to think there’s somebody walking around who doesn’t belong there.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Yeah. Well, they were very convinced.<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Yeah.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: That it was a ghost, or that it was another person?<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): That it was a ghost. Not another person.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Those women were—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Yes.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): They believed that those chambers [were] haunted. And this was just, two years ago now?<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Yeah. Yeah. So maybe the renovation has released the ghost.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): And they think the ghost had been there for quite some time, because other people had talked about it. So, it’s a haunted building. <br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Interesting. I would love to get more stories from the people—<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Of the ghost. I know them, so we’ll get in touch.<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Yes, because we should get to the bottom of that.<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Yes, the haunting. Okay, so—<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: So, Ruth Rolich.<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): Yeah, Ruth Rolich. I’m going to tell a quick story. And Jeanne Hoffman, and some of the other women who were involved in this restoration project sort of asked me to tell it, just because it’s sort of a cute story. So, my name is Ruth Rolich, and I work in the City’s Economic Development Division, for the last about seven, eight years. And so we were working here before the renovation. We were displaced for two years during the renovation, and now we’ve just moved back in. <br /><br />So my office, before the renovation, was on the third floor on the corner. So I had a view of the lake, a view of Martin Luther King [Jr. Blvd] and at that time we had the windows open to fresh air, and it was just this beautiful space, where you’d get this great breeze in the summer and you’d hear the farmers’ market down on Martin Luther King Blvd on Wednesdays. And because my last name was Rolich, no one ever knows that Judge Doyle was my grandfather. And that’s cool, and I don’t tell very many people that. And so it’s very rare for someone that I work with to know that. <br /><br />And so late nights, I work after five often, and there was a maintenance man. He was kind of quirky, I can’t remember his name now but he was just a quirky Madisoni—very Madison kind of guy. And we would talk. And he’d come in, and I’d always be one of the last people in the office and we’d talk. He was really funny and it was always a nice little break in my afternoon. So he was retiring, and we’d been talking a lot about that and it was his last week of work. And he showed up in my cube with this huge rolling wooden and leather chair, and said, “This was your grandfather’s chair.” (gasps) “They’re going to throw it away and I think you should have it.” <br /><br />And I thought, “How does he know that my grandfather worked in this building, first of all, that was bizarre, and how does he know that was his chair, and what am I going to do with this chair.” And of course I said, “Thank you so much, it’s so nice of you to think of me,” and we said our goodbyes. He’s retired, I’ve never spoken to him since he dropped the chair off. <br /><br />And then the chair sat in my cube for a while. And when I started working in this building my mom of course was emotional because it was such a sweet thing to have me working in the same building as my grandpa, and I thought it was really special too. Because I have, you know, as a child I came here and I knew how important this building was to our family. So the chair sat there for a while. And our family has a problem of hoarding family heirlooms, which are not really valuable except for emotional. We’re all trying to pare down. <br /><br />So I thought, I don’t want this chair in my house—I don’t have room for it, I don’t want to tell my mom because then she’ll want the chair, and it’ll go into her house and she doesn’t have room for it. So I didn’t know what to do—it was a dilemma. [It] sat there for a couple more weeks and then I started thinking about my cousins, and a lot of them are going in to law, inspired by their parents and Grandpa and Grandma. So then I thought, oh, maybe I should tell someone, I don’t know. <br /><br />A few more weeks go by. I start piling up files on it. It’s still in my cube, I don’t know what to do—and then, very government-style, our office administrator walked in and she said, “What is this chair doing here?” <br /><br />And I said “Oh, my grandpa used to work in this building, the maintenance guy who retired thinks that this was his chair, and he thought I should have it, and I haven’t decided what to do with it.” <br /><br />And she said, “Well, you can’t have it. That’s government property. You have to go through procurement to get that chair.” <br /><br />And I thought, “Well, that solves it.” You know, I don’t want to go through a hassle, so I’m not going to do that. And I told her, “Okay, I’ll make sure that procurement folks get it and figure it out.” <br /><br />And then it sat there for a while longer, and I finally thought, maybe I’ll call procurement, tell them the story, and then bring the chair home. <br /><br />So I called Jeanne Hoffman, who was taking care of all the restoration, and I said, “Listen, this is a weird thing. My grandpa used to work in this building. I have his chair. Um, and I was thinking, could I do paperwork or whatever to take it home.” <br /><br />And she said, “Was your grandfather Judge Doyle?” <br /><br />And I said, “Yes.” <br /><br />And she said, “We’ve been looking for that chair for three months. (laughing) That is a crucial part of the restoration of the courtroom. You cannot keep that chair. How did you get it, who in the world would have stolen this chair?” <br /><br />And I just thought that was hilarious, it was so great, and it was like, problem solved. No one has to keep the chair, it will be in its proper place, and that’s the end of that story. It’s just this funny little mystery—they were searching for it, and it was just sitting there, the whole time.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: That’s a great story.<br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): I love it. And so now, seeing it, with the bench in that beautiful room, that is going to be—it’s now going to be used for a lot of public things. And I always think about Grandpa overseeing weddings, and I’m sure he swore a lot of new citizens in, that was his favorite—<br /><br />NARRATOR (CATHERINE): Oh, yeah, his favorite thing to do was to have the, to swear in the new citizens, the naturalization ceremonies. He would cry. He just would tell these stories and it would just choke him up, because they’d be people from all over the world and for him, that was the most beautiful sign of the United States, and they’d all be in that beautiful courtroom. <br /><br />NARRATOR (RUTH): So now, just thinking that it’s going to be really used by the public again, is awesome. That’s the best use for it. Well, thank you so much.<br /><br />INTERVIEWER: Thank you, very much.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:17 DESCRIPTION OF 3RD FLOOR COURTROOM<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Narrator: This is Jacki Lawton, <br /><br />Interviewer: And this is Ardina Boll. I’m conducting the interview at the Municipal Restored event on December 8, 2018.<br /><br />Narrator: So I’ve had occasion to attend lots of public meetings in the third-floor former courtroom. And it seemed always dark. And as a citizen you sat in pews. It was very uncomfortable. It would definitely encourage people to leave before the full hour, two-hour, three-hour meeting was over. And the city cable would be lurking behind some panels to the side of the room, maybe recording the event depending on what committee was meeting. And maybe not. So that was always tricky, if you didn’t want to be on cable TV for the City of Madison.<br /><br />Occasionally I was able to sit at the table, in the very cool swivel chairs that were like something out of To Kill a Mockingbird, those old trial stories where they had the rolling chairs. That’s my whole story.<br /><br />Interviewer: That’s your whole story? OK, thank you. <br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX;<br /><br />0:06- MEDITATION GROUP THEY STARTED IN MMB<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: Jacki Lawton, with two guests to speak today.<br /><br />LB: Laura Berger. B-e-r-g-e-r.<br /><br />BL: Barb Lanser. L-a-n-s-e-r. We both worked for the city and have a memory about a meditation group that, um, Laura started when we worked here. And, um, Laura now, um, how did it get started?<br /><br />LB: I think it was about 15 years ago, and, um, maybe 20. God, it’s hard to say. I found out someone else in my meditation group, Tony Fernandez, worked in Engineering. And so he and I talked about just having a lunchtime place in the city where we could just—anybody who wants to just can come and be quiet for half an hour and go back. And Employee Assistance—<br /><br />BL: Well, I was working in the Office of Human Resources as the occupational combination specialist, and I had met Laura and Tony through the meditation group, and we all figured out that we worked for the city. And so I had a connection in HR with the Employee Assistance office, and so they sent out an email to the city employees inviting people to this mindfulness half-hour. And we were able to get a room up here in the Madison Municipal Building on, I think it’s the fourth floor, um, and we started it. It’s got to be at least 15 years ago, because I’ve been gone 12 years from working here.<br /><br />LB: So it’s probably longer than that.<br /><br />BL: Yeah.<br /><br />LB: But it kept going. There weren’t a lot of us that showed up. We would just come, pull the chairs in a circle, sit. When it was over we’d get up and go. But we got to know each other. Beth Rissett came from the Overture, which is where she worked, and so we’d all become good friends.<br /><br />BL: And we had someone that came from 1 West Wilson, too, I think another Tony.<br /><br />LB: Yep.<br /><br />BL: He would come over. And it was just a great time in the middle of the day, to have some quiet and have support for mindfulness. It’s like, knowing that a lot of the work that we did was challenging, and, uh, a way to connect with people. And I know when I left, the group kept going. Um, and I left in 2006, in December. <br /><br />LB: Yeah, we continued for, I don’t know, 10-plus years. Chris Keenan continued it, and I don’t know if it’s still going, but—<br /><br />BL: Yeah. So that’s our memory about this building, among others, that we wanted to share today.<br /><br />Interviewer: So this is Jacki with a question. Did you have guided meditation at all, or it was just a moment of just sit and be quiet? And then you met each other more from chatting after you were on the way in or way out, recognizing each other.<br /><br />LB: Correct. No guidance. People had different practices, actually. I mean, it really could be anybody doing anything. It was just a half-hour to be quiet and sit together, and Employee Assistance really supported it and periodically sent out an email to employees inviting them to participate.<br /><br />BL: Yeah. I think that we did get to know each other at kind of the start and end. And we would share our names in the beginning. You know, just go around the circle, so, um, you know, got to know each other that way. Here comes the band. (laughs)<br /><br />Interviewer: This is the Forward Band, a longtime Madison institution. Started, I think, by [unintelligible]. Thank you, so we're going to thank you very much.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:12- JUDGE DOYLE<br /><br />2:45- SERVING ON JURY<br /><br />4:54- FIRST FLOOR POST OFFICE/ 2ND FLOOR COURTROOM<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: Okay. Okay, go.<br /><br />Narrator (James): Uh, James Doyle, D-o-y-l-e.<br /><br />Narrator (Jessica): Jessica Doyle, D-o-y-l-e.<br /><br />Narrator (James): Well, of course this building has special meaning for us, because this is where my father was a judge for many years before they built the new federal courthouse. So my memories of the building are, are just old, are memories of my father, I mean, and, and how important, uh, this building and that job was to his life. He was truly a person who was, I think, born to be a judge, and he was a wonderful judge and a wonderful father. <br /><br />Narrator (James): Um, I was here as a college, I think freshman, um, when he was, uh, sworn in as the judge in the, in the now redone courtroom here. After a bitter political in-fighting that had gone on for a number of years over who would be the new federal judge in Madison, there was only one federal judge at the time. And, um, but ultimately he was appointed by President Johnson and was sworn in and he, you know, I was in the building many, many times but not as a lawyer, I was here as a son, you know, coming in to see my father. For six years I was the Dane County District Attorney, and my office was directly across, right here, Martin Luther King, and so my office, I can see it from where we're looking right now, and I would, you know, look over where my father was the judge. The courthouse was the center in those days of the—sixties and seventies, the center of just an enormous amount of public attention, uh, that many significant cases came through this court. It was the busiest federal court in the country—busiest. Per judge, he had the biggest caseload of any federal judge.<br /><br />Narrator (James): And there were a lot of really ground-breaking decisions that he made that, um, that came out of this courthouse in free speech and prisoners' rights. He was, you know, widely regarded around the country. So I was proud to be, you know, his son and his namesake. He was also, uh, Jim Doyle, and that's largely my memory of the building, was really—it's a memory of my father.<br /><br />Narrator (Jessica): I was lucky enough to serve on a jury in this courtroom where Judge Doyle was the judge. It was in the late 70s, and I was a teacher at Orchard Ridge Middle School, and I was selected to be on the federal judge panel for one year. So every single, uh, first Monday of the month, I would have to leave lesson plans for my class, and I would come into this building. And just entering Judge Doyle's courtroom was just so special for me. I knew him, of course, as my father-in-law, but when he was in court he just became such a person of great magnitude in the sense that he kind of cast a spell on the courtroom. I knew he was sensitive and caring and a wonderful man already, but everybody who entered that courtroom was just captivated by his spirit. <br /><br />Narrator (Jessica): He could talk to all kinds of jurors, and I usually got eliminated from the jury. Some lawyers thought that I would be too tough because I was married to the district attorney, and some lawyers thought I’d be too soft, I guess, being a teacher. So, I, I rarely made it to the jury. But one time I did. And I could see the influence of Judge Doyle, and the building, and that special room, on all the jurors. It really made you think of what it is to be a citizen and to be fair-minded, and I don't think just any judge could have done all that. I, I felt that we all counted in that room, and I think he'd really be happy to see it today. It's really part of a lovely part of his life and also the story of this building.<br /><br />Interviewer: Good. Thank you.<br /><br />Narrator (James): All right?<br /><br />Interviewer: Anything else you'd like to add? Did you have free run of the building because he had an office here?<br /><br />Narrator (James): (laughs)<br /><br />Interviewer: Or, on the weekends, did you come and—<br /><br />Narrator (James): I was a college student when he was appointed, so it wasn't like we were little kids running around in this building. And, um, you definitely had the sense that you were in—the first floor, which I've been in, like every Madisonian was in, you know, and this was the downtown post office, so the first floor was just, um, activity all the time. I mean, those pre-email days when—and if you had, like I did, a little law office in town, what you did—it was just the correct thing to do—was you had a post office box here, and then you came every single day and got the [mail]—which was essentially your workload for the day. I mean, that's how the lawyers worked in those days, you'd get a stack of letters, and then you'd spend your day answering those letters, and you'd mail those and they'd get, uh, typed up and they'd get mailed out. It seems so, you know, 1850s now, but that's how the world was up until, you know, through much of the 1990s. <br /><br />Narrator (James): Um, so the first floor, a lot was going on all the time. You met people. But then you [INDISTINCT] went up to the second floor with the courtroom, and that was—you didn't mess around up there. The FBI office was upstairs, if I remember, too, you know, you didn't mess around. It was a, it was a really serious matter. You knew you were in a—you know, you were at the—you weren't at the— I, my life has been largely, [I] was a lawyer, was in the state courts, a fair amount of federal courts, but state courts are—you know, things are going on all the time. There are criminal arraignments going on, the police are in and out of there, the jurors—it's just—but the federal court was, and still is, a very different thing. It's quieter. It's much more august. You have a sense this is where the big constitutional decisions are being made. So, no, we didn't. I didn't run around [INDISTINCT] but I assumed if I—[if] this had all happened, you know, ten years earlier—something—we probably would have.<br /><br />Interviewer: Good.<br /><br />Interviewer: Uh, that was Jacki Lawton asking the questions, and that will be it for here.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />0:20- GOING TO OLD POST OFFICE- LOOKING AT ART<br /><br />1:42- FOND MEMORIES OF OLD BUILDING<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: This is Mary Gandolfo and I'm speaking to Barbara Tarockoff, who is going to be sharing a memory or a story about the Madison Municipal Building. Today is December 8th, 2018.<br /><br />Narrator: Well, I would come to this building pretty regularly because I had to go to the post office to get a money order usually every month and so I got to know the regulars at the post office but I also would love to come in the early morning, because that's when I would come here, and look at all the artwork in the big lobby and then I would get my money order and stand at the table that was kind of the counter that was in the middle of the lobby and write out cards or whatever pieces of mail that I had, and I would be inspired by just the atmosphere of the—just the largeness of the lobby and the historical kind of moldings and the—just the sounds and quietness of that space. <br /><br />Narrator: And, of course, there's always the historical kind of diorama display from—I think it was LaFollette [High School] I'm trying to remember. And I always imagined what was that period of time like. So I could kind of just lose myself in this lobby and also the nature of the work that I do—I work with, um, people with severe mental illness and I would also come and use the housing resources that were on the first floor.<br /><br />Narrator: So I have very fond memories of, of the way the building was constructed. And I was so afraid that this building was going to be torn down that when it was—like the weeks before it was closed, I came with my camera, and I took pictures of it outside, and I took the picture of the little plaque, um, plaque that kind of told the history of the building. So I'm very glad that the building is still here, but I'm very disappointed with the way it's been reconfigured. Uh, it's probably very useful, but it feels very alienating and kind of fragmented, and, and that's kind of a reflection, I think, of how I feel about Madison right now, that it seems less cohesive and more fragmented than ever. So, I'm going to keep an open mind, but right now I'm just not that crazy about it.<br /><br />Interviewer: And you took the tour?<br /><br />Narrator: I have.<br /><br />Interviewer: And how far did you—did you get to see all three floors?<br /><br />Narrator: I believe I, I think I went to third floor, I think.<br /><br />Interviewer: Um-hm.<br /><br />Narrator: Yeah. I saw the court, old courtroom, and then I saw—<br /><br />Interviewer: Um-hm.<br /><br />Narrator: — the, um, I think the media with the—Bubbler display with a [MUFFLED] media. <br /><br />Interviewer: Um-hm.<br /><br />Narrator: Is that on the third floor, I think? That was—I mean, I love the vistas, looking out the windows, and I took some pictures out the window of where the future building is going to be with the—Lake Monona in the background and kind of the hole that's being constructed. So we'll see what happens when that addition happens. But, right now, I spend a lot of time in the building across the street. (laughter) <br /><br />Interviewer: Um-hm.<br /><br />Narrator: And—<br /><br />Interviewer: Courthouse?<br /><br />Narrator: Yup. And uh, uh, just—so it's nice to be back in this building again. It feels like it's an old friend that's kind of had a facelift. (laughter)<br /><br />Interviewer: Do you see any elements of the building that you, that you recall from that time?<br /><br />Narrator: Um. Just the, maybe, uh, not really. <br /><br />Interviewer: No?<br /><br />Narrator: No. No. It was just kind of a grand, old building that just, you know, felt like living history was here, and now I feel like that history has been erased. <br /><br />Interviewer: Um.<br /><br />Narrator: And I love how clean and white the marble stairs are. Um, the only time I actually was in another part of the building besides the first floor was when I had to go down to the, um, the basement for, uh, to talk with some people down there. And that was, that was disgusting (laughs) back then. And so, I haven't been down there yet, but I imagine it's been an improvement since that part. But the, the windows from the outside are much greener in the framing around the windows and that everything is sparkling clean, and I, I just, besides the outside of the building, I don't really see much that I remember from the old building. So it's kind of, you know, I miss my old friend, kind of. (laughs)<br /><br />Interviewer: Um-hm. Yeah. Well, thank you for telling us that.<br /><br />Narrator: Yeah.<br /><br />Interviewer: Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Narrator: Yeah.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />00:15- MEMORIES OF MEETINGS IN OLD MADISON MUNICIPAL BUILDING<br /><br />5:01- DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS<br /><br />6:45- SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS HE WAS INVOLVED WITH (EDGEWATER, REVIVAL RIDGE)<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING]<br /><br />Interviewer: Okay. My name is Carmen Niemeyer, we’re here today on December 8th, 2018, in the Madison Municipal Building at the Grand Re-Opening. I have a narrator here with me, would you please introduce yourself?<br /><br />Narrator: Stu Levitan.<br /><br />Interviewer: Thank you, Stu. If you wouldn’t mind just getting us started with sharing some of your memories about the building, and your time here.<br /><br />Narrator: I have spent a lot of time in this building. I’m thinking since 1989, I may have attended, I’m pretty sure I attended more meetings in this building than anybody (loud noise in background) outside of City staff. Starting in 1989, I’ve chaired the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Community Development Authority, the Planning Commission, and the Landmarks Commission. Planning Commission met across the street in City Hall, but those other three all met here. I did the rough math—I think I attended, as a member, more than five hundred meetings in this building since 1989. At an average of at least two hours a meeting, you know, that’s like, more than a month of my life has been spent (laughs) in this building and most of those were a lot of fun. <br /><br />My first experience in this building, though, was as President of the Bassett Neighborhood Association, coming and getting the mail. And those wonderful little mailboxes that no longer exist, as so much of this building no longer exists, then starting in ’89, just coming to a lot of meetings mainly in the basement. I understand how if you weren’t familiar with it, it might have been sort of confusing. And perhaps if you were a staff person working there, it might have been awkward and inconvenient. But if you were familiar with the place, and they knew who you were, so you kind of had freedom of motion, and could move around, it was a lot of fun. I loved those rabbit warren offices. I loved coming in and thinking, “I can get to Billy Robert'’s office by this stairway, it’s fifteen steps, but if I go this way, it’s twelve steps", um, and I have a lot of really warm memories of meeting with people and doing business in those basement offices. <br /><br />Sitting with Amy Scanlon [Historic Preservation Planner] in the back, by her office, it had a little table, and writing, revising the Landmarks Ordinance. Or meeting with Percy Brown in his office, and talking about CDA things, or meeting with Warren Kenney—I remember when Brad Murphy was the Plan Unit Director, I had a lot of meetings with him in his office, but as I recall, I was always standing in the doorway, I never actually sat down in Brad Murphy’s office. Whereas, when I became Chairman of the CDA, then I could sit down with Mark Olinger [former city manager]. And I’d come and I’d say hey, Nancy Persay, who actually I saw earlier today, and it was just, there was something very gratifying and very rewarding about sitting at the table with the Director of the Planning, Planning, Community Development and Economic Development department, DPCDED (laughs), and you know, talking municipal government business. Sitting at the table with Mark Olinger and Augie Olvera and doing CDA business. The meetings in—that was all just very satisfying. You had a sense that, you know, you were able to contribute to city government, you were able to meet with meaningful people, and try and do some important things. <br /><br />The number of meetings—I used to love [Room] 260. And, man, to see those wooden chairs gone, breaks my heart. Now, I understand from Jeanne Huffman that those chairs do still exist, and they’ve been saved, they’ve not been taken to Swap Shop—but the whole thrill of a CDA meeting was getting there in time to find the chair that was comfy to lean back in and it rocked a little bit, and it didn’t squeak too much. Because the chairs really squeaked a lot, um, but they were very substantive chairs, and you had the sense that, okay, this was a comfy chair, we’re doing some serious business here. I understand the pews were sort of uncomfortable, um, but the table was nice, and the chairs were wonderful. <br /><br />Um, I remember—I have more distinct memories of meetings in this building than I do of meetings in City Hall where I was actually on the County Board for five years. I have a clearer picture of a meeting of the Landmarks Commission dealing with Edgewater up on that third floor side meeting room, I have that image as clear as day. I have the image of the night at the CDA when we approved the plan for Revival Ridge, and those, and meetings with Amy and meetings with Mark Olinger. I have a really distinct, ingrained memory of all the times I’ve spent in this building, and, it’s been very rewarding.<br /><br />Interviewer: Why do you think that is, the difference between the buildings, or your experiences here?<br /><br />Narrator: I don’t know—I was, I mean the first thing is that I realized it. And now I’m trying to figure out why it is. I really don’t know. Maybe it’s slightly more current, I was on the County Board in the early to mid-eighties, and all these other things have been post-1989 so it may just be more current, maybe it was that it was more rewarding. Maybe actually just sitting around a table with Amy Scanlon and making decisions on the Landmarks Ordinance was more rewarding than a three-hour budget debate on the County Board. <br /><br />But I have a lot of very strong, and generally positive feelings about this building. I’ve probably spent more time in this building than—I’ve spent more time in my house, but in terms of out of the house, I’ve spent as much time in this building as anywhere else. And it’s been good. And it’s interesting to feel now that I am part of the generation that’s been passed. I started in this building in its second iteration, 1979, 1980, and now it’s on its third iteration, and you know, I’m being shuffled offstage, (laughs) there’s this whole new generation of people. And all—most of the people I worked with, down in that basement, they’ve all retired. Brad’s gone, Warren’s gone, George Austen’s left, Hickory’s gone, um, so I guess it’s time for a new building for a new generation to work in it. Anything else?<br /><br />Interviewer: Ah, no, I just was wondering, you mentioned the Landmarks. Were there anything else significant things that you were involved in here in the building?<br /><br />Narrator: Well, dealing, having the long public hearings and taking the votes to disapprove of the certificates for the Edgewater, that was big. I mean, that was meaningful government action arrived at democratically, based on community participation and then citizen commissioners making decisions. That was a really—we were overturned, of course, by the City Council, but in terms of what we did, that left an impact. <br /><br />The stuff with the CDA, what we did at Revival Ridge, in terms of understanding the mistakes that the CDA or its predecessor had made in urban renewal in the sixties on the Triangle, and fixing those mistakes, and doing a better job of listening to the neighborhood, and a lot of hearings, a lot of hearings in Room 260, with a lot of people from the neighborhood expressing themselves, um, that was a very rewarding way to spend time in this building. <br /><br />You know, pretty much every time I came to this building, I left feeling that okay, I’ve done my bit as a citizen of this community, participating in its governance. And it was very rewarding, and gratifying.<br /><br />Interviewer: Wonderful, that sounds great.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

My name is Carmen Niemeyer, and I’m here today in the Madison Municipal Building for the Grand Re-Opening. Today is December 8th, 2018, I’m here with Sarah, Sarah would you introduce yourself please?<br /><br />Narrator: My name is Sarah White. I live on Madison’s East Side.<br /><br />Interviewer: Okay, thank you, Sarah. Would you mind, please, sharing a story with us or memory of the building?<br /><br />Narrator: Well, I was thinking, who has any substantive memories of this building, and then I realized that I did. In about 1980, I think it was, I took a temporary job as a typist for the Dane County Print Shop, which was in the basement of the City [-County] Building, which is across the street there. And um, at the time I was falling in love with a young man who was a chef, and worked at the Fess Hotel, which was over on King Street. It’s now the Great Dane Brewpub. <br /><br />So I would come to work in the morning at my typist job, and he would come to work in the morning at his job as a chef, and he would make a sandwich for me, for lunchtime. And so he would bike to work, I would bike to work, and when my break time would come, I would come out of the building over there, come through the Municipal Building out the back, because wintertime, you know, out the back and then it was just a quick hop over to the Fess Hotel from there, go to his bike bag, find my sandwich, (laughs) which would be made out of Fess materials, obviously. And you know, we’d do a little smooching on the back steps of the restaurant there and I’d come back, eat my sandwich, and go back to work. <br /><br />Three years later we came to this building to get our wedding license and we came to this building for our marriage with the judge. I don’t remember the name of the judge. At the time the cool thing was to be married by Angela Bartell, because she was the first female judge. And anybody who’s anybody on the east side got married by Angela Bartell. But she wasn’t available when we wanted her, so just some man married us. Who knows who. <br /><br />And since then, what has brought me to this building has been attending City Council meetings, Landmark Committee meetings, Planning Council meetings—mostly related to Olbrich Gardens and the development of the land behind, and the Garver Feed Mill, and are we going to preserve the Garver Feed Mill, are we going to let the Garver Feed Mill fall down. I moved to Fair Oaks Avenue in 1993 and almost immediately began attending meetings about what would be the fate of that land that was, you know, where I walked my dog. And I’m pleased to say that the building has been saved, it’s under renovation right now, and will be opening with new businesses in it between January and June of next year. <br /><br />So all that coming to meetings and participating in public process, I got what I was looking for. So thank you very much.<br /><br />Interviewer: Okay, great, thank you so much. That was a great story.<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

INDEX:<br /><br />00:10- OPENING OF MADISON MUNICIPAL BUILDING (12/8/18) <br /><br />00:25- WORKING AT THE POST OFFICE, 1967-1968<br /><br />[START OF RECORDING] <br /><br />Narrator: My name is William, W-i-l-l-i-a-m, Nardi, N-a-r-d-i. <br /><br />Interviewer: And this is Ardina Boll, and we’re here at the opening of the Municipal Building on December eighth, twenty-eighteen. I’m here with William Nardi. He’s going to tell us something. <br /><br />N: Okay. I worked in the Post Office here back in 1967 to 1968. Going to school at MATC I would come over in the afternoons and work a three-hour shift. My shift, uh, consisted of doing various duties in the mail sorting and package sorting areas of the postal system. I would basically sit and do two or three different things each day, for a short period of time. Nothing was ever too long. <br /><br />I never understood why I did so many different things in a three hour shift but that’s what it amounted to. I would arrive in the back of the building, at the loading dock area, come in, punch in and then do my shift and leave. <br /><br />And it was, at that time it was a good-paying job—two dollars and thirty-five cents an hour for a student going to college. It was a little bit more than you could get anywhere else so it turned out to be a very good job. <br /><br />I was married at the time and, uh, we had our first child a year later, so. <br /><br />I: What were you studying? <br /><br />N: Accounting. <br /><br />I: Oh awesome! <br /><br />N: Business Administration. <br /><br />I: And did you work with other people here or was this solo? <br /><br />N: Yeah, I didn’t get to know anybody. It was a three-hour shift and I didn’t really make a lot of friends. We were all there part time for the most part. The supervisors were full time, but, uh, there was a supervisor in the mail sorting area, there was a supervisor in the packaging receipt area and then they would move us from one function to another and then back. <br /><br />And that was done on a daily basis. I worked about two or three days a week, I recall, and—my father was a postal employee in my hometown so I was— I felt kinda at home working in the post office, and for a long time—eleven years—I worked on, just on the corner of the block off the square at National Mutual Benefit. <br /><br />I worked there for eleven years so we were there during a lot of the periods of the, the rioting and the protest marches here on this section of the block. <br /><br />I: And, uh, have you been back here since, or is this?—<br /><br />N: This is my first time back in since I stopped working, I believe, in the post office. I never come back in this building. It’s kind of interesting to come back and see the changes and—<br /><br />I: Thank you for sharing. Is there anything else? <br /><br />N: No, there’s nothing really. Other than I did work in this building and I worked across the street in the building across the street so that’s kind of— nice little neighborhood (laughs).<br /><br />I: Thank you! <br /><br />N: You’re welcome! <br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]

S-o-g-l-i-n. Where should we start?<br /><br />I: Your first, um, adventures as—did you have an adventure here before you were mayor? In this building?<br /><br />N: Well, I suppose that before my role as mayor there were two things that brought me to the building that are, I think were significant. <br /><br />First, in June of 1972, our law school graduating class got admitted to the, um, the bar of western district of Wisconsin and were sworn in by Judge Doyle. That wasn’t the first time I was before the judge. There were a number of cases that I was involved in regarding free speech. Soglin v. Kaufmann, um, they were argued by civil rights lawyers from Madison. Percy Julian and then joined by Bill Kunstler and Arthur Kinoy and a couple of others who had been doing civil rights work nationally. So, a couple of appearances in, in the judge’s chamber, in the courtroom. <br /><br />But I also was a stamp collector and so was often here at the Post Office to purchase new issues, new, new stamps that that were coming out. And, pick up some plate blocks and things of that sort. Particularly the commemoratives of, of that period. A lot of space stamps back in the late sixties and the seventies. <br /><br />Then, getting to where we are today with the building—in I believe it was ‘78, the decision had already been made that a new Post Office building would be constructed on Milwaukee Street and that the court and the other related justice functions were going to move to what was later to become the Kastenmeier Building, at the corner of Henry and West Mifflin. So this was to become federal surplus property. And there’s a process: the federal government would put a value on the building and then offer it up in order of hierarchy. First to the state government, then the county, and then the municipality. The State was going through the extensive process of completing the construction of GEF I, II, and III, but we were concerned that the state might want this for additional state offices. <br /><br />I went to State Senator Fred Risser who was chair of the Building Commission and basically said, can you leave it for us? And we need it. City offices are growing. We’re running out of space. We’re already using a couple of annex facilities for some departments like Housing and what was then the city’s Welfare Department. And we’d like to consolidate and use the old federal building. So he was very agreeable. The State did not put in a bid so now we had to sort of wait and hold our breath for thirty days, not knowing what the County was going to do. And we were hoping that they would just kind of ignore it, which they did. <br /><br />So after the County had its month period to consider purchasing the building we, uh, we had funds in a, in a not designated for a specific building if I remember correctly, but just for general acquisition of public property and we wrote out the check after the City Council approved it. <br /><br />And our vision was to go in phases, at least mine. First to consolidate those other offices that were scattered around downtown as well as moving some of the overcrowded offices, what ended up coming over here was the Plan Department, Transportation. And then eventually, if the county needed to expand, turn over city space in City County building to the County. And then all city offices would be located either in this building or in an adjacent addition to it. Which never, obviously, at least at the time we’re making this recording, hasn’t happened. <br /><br />At that juncture I left office in April 1979, Joel Skornicka was elected and then his administration in the next couple years did all the design work, all of the significant work in regards to relocating the offices from these other sites. And that work, I can’t remember, was completed, probably completed around ‘82 or so. ‘83. <br /><br />And then this building served us very well. The room that most people are familiar with is the room formerly known as 260, which is the Judge’s Chambers and that was used for everything from Board of Estimates, later renamed Finance Committee. It was used for all the recordings that were done by City Cable TV. A lot of committees met here. And, of course, on occasion, when we couldn’t get the Council Chambers, City Council meetings were held in that room. <br /><br />As we got to twenty years beyond that first renovation, so now we’re talking, basically, you know sometime around 2002, it became evident that more work needed to be done here. And that really became a crisis by about 2010, 2012. So we first had the difficult chore of figuring out how to raise the $30 million, because of all the other large capital projects. The building was really quite stressed by that time. The mechanical systems were failing. We had a lot of code problems that we wouldn’t tolerate in a privately owned building with this much public use and we kind of had to hold our breath once we completed the design, figured out where everyone was going to be located.<br /><br />And, by the way, one of the nice things about the new design is that in the process of restoring, for example, the hallways to their original configuration and restoring the building, we actually ended up getting more space. And badly needed meeting rooms. Meeting rooms for committees, meeting rooms for city staff. And that’s really one of the nice features about the building. <br /><br />Then, we ran into some problems. We went out to bid and the bids all came in over budget and so I made a few phone calls, including a call to Cullen who ended up becoming the contractor on the project. And I think part of why they did it was in effect civic pride, which was, it wasn’t just to be a contractor working on the building but it was also to make sure that the City of Madison had this really fine, restored facility for public use. So here we are today for the dedication. <br /><br />I: Excellent! Do you have any thoughts about, now that this part is done? About the future in twenty to fifty years? <br /><br />N: Well, at this juncture we don’t know what’s going to go on the back half of this block. That was the other great thing about this site, is that once the loading docks were torn down for, that had been used by the Post Office, we had this magnificent square block in downtown Madison with tremendous value. And, this building only occupies about a third of the footprint and so we are up in the air as to what happens next. We’ve not been able to persuade the County to pick up our space in the City County Building so until that happens, I don’t think any city administration would have serious thoughts about putting all city offices on this site, which is what I’d eventually like to one day see. <br /><br />I: Thank you!<br /><br />N: All right! <br /><br />I: And this is Jackie Lawton asking questions, by the way. <br /><br />N: Great!<br /><br />[END OF RECORDING]
